An organised practice day followed by a 6 lap time trial saw Micro and Mini Max drivers test their new equipment and compare skills.

Top national youngsters showed their experience by reeling off six almost identical laps in a row. Cape Town's Joseph Oelz posted the quicket total time of the eleven Mini Max's at 5:10.878 with Cameron Dias less than 0.5 seconds behind! Jarrod Waberski, Christiaan van Wyk, Jayden Els and Daniel De Paiva were seperated by 0.4 seconds!

What really impressed is that despite not having anyone to follow or slipstream that the top six's total times were still less than 2 seconds apart after 6 laps. What would have happened if they had actually started together and raced?
